Bras Across the CAUSEway 5k & Festival

Bras Across the CAUSEway 5K & Festival is a timed 5K run or walk held at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama, beginning on Battleship Parkway. The event also includes a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run, a virtual participation option, and a shirt-only purchase to support the cause. It functions as a community fundraiser for Bras Across the CAUSEway, directing funds to local breast cancer patients via a patient assistance program. The course is straightforward according to public information: the main race is a 5K starting at the battleship park, with runners and walkers participating on the same morning. The festival aspect provides a more relaxed, local atmosphere, encouraging costumes, allowing leashed dogs, and featuring treats from Mobile-area merchants. Its fundraising is direct: proceeds assist patients with costs for gas, groceries, copays, uncovered medical bills, rent, utilities, and other essential needs. The event has taken place for ten years, and local businesses contribute as “Giverbackers,” receiving promotion beyond race day.

Prodisee Pantry Turkey Trot 2026

The Prodisee Pantry Turkey Trot begins at Daphne City Hall in downtown Daphne, Alabama, offering a 5K race and a 1 Mile Fun Run on a certified course. This autumn community race supports Prodisee Pantry, the Baldwin County food pantry that has dedicated over twenty years to assisting neighbors with nutritious food and tangible aid. The 5K commences first, followed by the Fun Run, accommodating both runners seeking a timed course and families preferring a shorter distance. The course is situated in central Daphne, not on a distant road. The race's character stems from the pantry it benefits. Prodisee Pantry originated with volunteer food distribution and now assists Baldwin County residents through regular food distributions in Spanish Fort and Stockton. Families have accessed the pantry over 221,000 times for food. Its volunteers include youth groups, civic organizations, school clubs, church groups, and local businesses. The Turkey Trot provides that same community a straightforward race format: run or walk, convene at City Hall, and support a local pantry focused on food, encouragement, and direct assistance for families requiring help.

The Magnolia Run begins and ends at Jesse’s Restaurant in Magnolia Springs, Alabama. Its primary feature is a USATF-certified 5K course. The yearly event maintains a straightforward format: a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a 1 Mile Fun Run. It attracts about 300 participants, offering a local community feel rather than a large-city atmosphere, and accommodates strollers and dogs. The 5K offers numerous age-group awards, along with overall, masters, grand masters, senior grand masters, and wheelchair categories for both men and women. Walkers are eligible for their own age-group awards, and participants in the fun run receive medals. A portion of each registration fee benefits The Sea Glass Initiative. Post-race food is provided by Jesse’s Restaurant, and the awards ceremony will take place inside the Magnolia Springs Community Hall.

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Mobile, AL (45)

The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and 13.1M in Mobile, Alabama, offers three distances: 5K, 10K, and half marathon. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Registration must be completed on RunSignup prior to race day, as there is no on-site signup. Packet pickup is brief, opening 30 minutes before the start and closing 10 minutes before the race. The course is an out-and-back design. The 5K and 10K share a segment, with the 5K completing it twice and the 10K completing it four times. The half marathon uses a longer out-and-back segment, repeated six times. The race has a 3 hour 30 minute time limit, with finisher medals and awards presented. Series points are awarded, and a best costume prize adds a playful holiday element.

Coastal Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

The Coastal Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run is a post-Thanksgiving race weekend in Orange Beach, Alabama. It offers three distances: a half marathon, a 5K, and a 1-mile fun run. The half marathon is for runners age 15 and up; the shorter events are suitable for families and mixed groups. The races utilize paved sections of Gulf State Park’s Backcountry Trail, avoiding busy beach-road running. The course winds through the coastal park landscape near Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. This event marks its 19th running and embraces its holiday timing. Participants often attend after Thanksgiving, running with family or friends, and conclude near the Gulf air, rather than making the race a separate trip.

Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival

The Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival is a beach-side running event in Gulf Shores, Alabama. All races start and finish at The Hangout on East Beach Boulevard. Runners can select the Sea Turtle Half Marathon, True Love 10K, Sweetheart 5K Run/Walk, or Be Mine 1 Mile. This variety accommodates those seeking a timed longer race and those preferring a short run or walk by the beach. The half marathon begins first, followed later in the morning by the 10K, 5K, and mile. All four races are timed, and awards are available for competitors. The Hangout also hosts the post-race party. Each registration includes food and beer tickets; beer is restricted to participants aged 21 and over. The race names reflect both the sea turtle theme and the Valentine’s timing, lending the festival a more relaxed, social atmosphere compared to a standard single-distance road race.

About 5K races in Mobile

Mobile Training Notes

Mobile hosts 11 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Downtown Mobile when they want steady base miles without thinking too hard. The 7 mile loop runs on Government Street, Dauphin Street, and Old Shell Road through shady, tree-lined neighborhoods. The 4 mile perimeter loop works when you want simple Z2. Glenn Sebastian Trail gives TrailYeah a Wednesday 6:00 PM run from the University of South Alabama trail head. MOB Pacers meets Monday and Thursday at 5:45 PM at Christ Church Cathedral for 5 miles. Port City Pacers, Mobile Marathon, Mobile Half Marathon, Jailbreak 5K, and Keesler Federal Battleship 12K keep the calendar honest.

Locals ride flat first, then go hunting for little punches. Blakeley State Park gives riders over 16 miles of trails and a paved bike path loop of about 9 miles. Eastern Shore Trail keeps the coastal spin long, flat, and beach-y with classic water, sand, and beach shack views. Mobile Bay Riders Cycling Club runs the local group-ride orbit, with member meet-up rides through the club Facebook group. Mobilians On Bikes Rides and ProCycle and Tri Shop Rides fill in more wheels. Crossley Hill Dr gives the named climb, and West Mobile gives dirt, gravel, sandy sections, and intervals. Pedal Through The Pines works as the anchor event.

October treats both sports best because the month runs slightly drier than the rest of the Gulf Coast year. July and August bring the wettest stretch, and locals shift runs and rides early when the heat and humidity get heavy. Summer base miles still happen, but Mobile rewards shade, water stops, and honest pacing more than big midday efforts. Winter stays mild and rainy, so runners keep Mobile Half Marathon goals alive while cyclists keep group rides rolling between wet spells. January can still surprise you, because Mobile Half Marathon race morning has been 45°F with a 12 mph north wind and 70% humidity.
